Too often, getting distracted by reaching destinations or achieving anticipated results causes us to lose the spark which inspired us to action in the first place.

We are living in a time when words like kindness, care and compassion are thrown around as if they were actions we take to improve personal advantage.

In our deeper innocence we appreciate how heartfelt kindness, love, warmth and caring feels, and so we recognize the opportunity to share with others, not for personal gain or to achieve more likes but to reconnect with and reaffirm our common humanity. In this shared space, we exist more freely and feel more secure.

Whether we encounter the clown in public spaces, in hospital, or on stage, we are drawn to the clown’s mysterious connection to the physical world. Living in this space between what is real and what is imagined, the clown becomes powerful, creating, holding and existing in its own space.

In this masterclass, Jef Johnson will discuss and guide participants in heart resonance and play which is inspired From the Heart. We will explore the differences between simply having ideas of heart and actually connecting from the heart.

Listening from the core is step one. Step two is trusting the inspiration to respond, take action, move, react, play without fear or obligation to get anything right. Letting go is never easy when we are locked into social expectations and fear of judgements or rejection. Jef will explore this through shared experiences and games.

Clown affords so many opportunities to exhibit our failings and vulnerabilities. Among these is a state of surrendering and giving full attention to what is immediately before us. We start with simple and curious fascination. We connect to our world. Together, we celebrate where our hearts take us.

When we play and connect from the heart, we resonate like a symphony of bells. Our hearts connect to one another. We discover higher frequency and recall the meaning of love. When we allow ourselves to radiate this way in public, we have the opportunity to bring others into our heart resonance.
